I am going to remove my polar sheet off of my Samsung 512n to remove the AG on it. I am wanting a brighter picture and this seems the way to go. What is the proper procedure for removing the polar, and where/which replacement sheet do i need to get for this model? thanks in advance,,

I take it you tried removing the A/G only while the polarizer was still adhesed to your panel. The 'Rag' method seems to be the leading method aside from the paint stripper and or polishing. But if you must remove the entire film then here's the link to my removal:

I suppose others can provide you with where and what replacement to get otherwise check Antiglare Storey-Indexed under Extreme Mods catagory for a some info on this.
Kyle,
Is your projector up and running yet? If not, do that first.
I replaced my polar with the regular non-adhesive from polarization.com and I would say it's definitely not brighter. It does appear to be a clearer image, but you won't get any more brightness from it.
Likewise, from the super high contrast polar sample I tried, the brightness was no (or very little) better.
I don't think it was worth the trouble in my case. I was left with doubt throughout the entire process, and a bit of a hazy image from either little wrinkles or waves in the polarizer, or from an LCD surface that is very difficult to clean.
I won't be around for this coming week, but hopefully others can chime in. Whatever you do, make sure you think about it first (obviously).

My brightness is not where it needs to be. I have a relatively small projection and the brightness is not adequate..Perhaps i should try the t15 bulb, or repositioning my current s400 LL bulb... I will post pics of my bulb placment tonight so you guys can take a look at it to tell me what you think....

I removed my antiglare/polarizer and have been tweaking every part of the projector for probably 6 months now, and am still not happy with the brightness. I think a 400W bulb just isn't adequate for some of us.
